Ann Hell Lyrics

Threshold (MINI CD, 2001)

Exile

 The long line of losers
 move slowly across the dusty road
 carrying over their shoulders
 the sorrow of a thousand years
 
 What is our unforgivable sin?
 They ask to their god
 their empty hands and bitter hearts
 up to the sky
 
 like dead beings they still sail
 and the sea is their blood
 and the sand is their flesh
 forgotten

The Outpost

Instrumental

Poison

 I don't believe in anything
 so don't talk me about hope
 
 The paradox of life is this:
 can't stop and can't go on
 
 I don't want to go on living
 
 poison
 poison me

Bone Hill

Instrumental

Harbour

 The harbour whistles are calling me
 My long journey starts here
 I can hear the waves
 And the engine of the sea;
 I must become a part of this

Save me From Heaven

 And this is another story...
 
 Trapped among a million words and lies
 bound by laws written by people dead
 many years ago
 Trapped among a million words and lies
 she lives her deaf existence in dreams
 
 I can't understand this stupid load of crap
 This is the only thing I can promise to you
 
 Save me from heaven (save me from heaven)
 
 She waits in silence
 keeping the uncountable shelfs
 of soul boxes and tear bottles
 What can we do now?
 Just wait with her and
 get redemption through suffering
 
 This is one way of making you shiver
 and this is another
 
 Riot (save me from heaven)
 
 Save me from heaven (save me from heaven)
 Save me from heaven (save me from heaven)
 
 And this...
 this is probably not what you hoped


The Mask (CD, 2000)

Prince Prospero Meets the Red Death

Instrumental

I Am Earth

 I am earth
 I am part of the ground
 Life spawns over me
 The earth resurrects
 because I'm dead
 Who can ever imagine
 being dead is like this
 Back to earth
 But I'm not alone

The Abyss Attraction

 How can you explain this anxiety inside your veins
 and warm this unbearable snatch of fury
 a life is betrayed between your hands
 dripping and tearing
 
 you feel the abyss attraction
 you feel the abyss attraction
 
 how can you get better when you feel pleasure inflicting pain
 and no one is there to make you see you are wrong
 loose your body in rooms of misery
 all your senses are useless
 
 you feel the abyss attraction
 you feel the abyss attraction

Bag of Heads

 Hounds breathing near your tracks
 Your heart pumping in your chest
 Crossing the fields like a raging bull
 As the night falls across the land
 He was the hunter now is the prey
 Carrying a gun, and a bag of heads

Ghouls like us

Instrumental

Crime (Reprise)

 Inner sea under the burning sun
 calling me the guilty of a crime
 a million miles so long lost in the desert sand
 undercover of this sinner light
 my hidden name is more than you will never know of me
 - that's the crime

Don't Look Back (Never Look Back)

 your ghost is back at home
 he's behind you
 hear his little footsteps
 
 don't look back never look back
 
 it was so many years ago
 you driving drunk over the child
 
 it's hard to be a normal man
 when someone whispers in the dark
 little boy with bloody face
 trapped inside the car engine
 
 don't look back never look back
 
 motor

Dies Irae

Land Without God

The Fire Within (Jump into Oblivion)

 how many times I felt like this
 how many times wasting the fire within
 
 i watch you from the distance
 remembering i had you,
 here between my arms
 
 you leaved me when you knew
 i wasn't what you hoped
 it's not nice to realize
 of being socially challenged
 
 i know I'm not funny
 not like the men you go out with
 
 but remember I was there
 when you had nothing
 nothing but a cold empty heart
 
 and how we spent so many nights
 dancing never let me down again and
 a lover spurned
 you little stupid bitch
 
 i hear you laughing
 and it's like laughing about me again
 but you can feel lucky
 if i just obey the voices i hear
 telling me to kill you
 
 i'm here feeling the fire within again
 
 by the river we shared
 everything remains the same
 your stupid smile of bitch
 echoes forever
 
 but now it's only the bridge,
 the river and me
 i'll jump into oblivion
 good night

Independence

 Weakness
 Future is hopeless
 Mistakes will teach us nothing
 cos' there's nothing to fight for
 
 You've got to pay the price
 I'm lost in a sea of vice
 What's the game we're playing
 Golden promises
 
 Smoke in your eyes
 And dreams of dark and blue
 Disappointed on and on
 Misunderstanding
 
 The party's over
 I ran through the woods
 Beyond the clearing
 Alone with the night
 
 And I sat on the floor
 Where are we going
 Sinking, you and me
 Words have nonsense
 
 At the still point of destruction
 Deliverance is hopeless
 Disappearing is the sentence
 Independence

The Man who Slaughtered Baby Jane

 The man who slaughtered baby jane
 is sitting there in front of you
 fear him
 he's a horror movie nightmare
 
 Doctors said he's insane
 cos he had a hard childhood
 he was ravished when a boy
 but who cares
 
 The man who slaughtered baby jane
 severed her in little pieces
 cut the flesh
 with some canadian chainsaw
 
 Packed her in cardboard boxes
 and sent them to family and friends
 no one knows where
 went some of these boxes
 
 The man who slaughtered baby jane
 died tonight by justice's hands
 someone said he slaughtered her
 alive

1896 (CD, 1996)

Garam Masala II (What Kind of Lie)

 worthwhile dilemmas
 as the beat goes on
 a line has two sides
 
 overtly resist
 give way to your worst impulse
 emphasize the flaws
 
 disciplined self-indulgence
 allow an easement
 very quietly
 
 don't stress one thing more
 into the impossible
 look at the order
 
 abandonment of stricture
 the words need changing
 hidden intention
 
 what is the reality
 simple substraction
 words from the machine


Miscellaneous Tracks

Sandra in the Box (2001)

 I live inside a box
 Well, it's not much of a box
 but I live inside it anyway
 They put me here one day during the war
 saying my body was too damaged
 to go on by its own
 So someone thought it will be a good idea
 to test one of those life keeping devices
 New technology for old problems
 And took my mind and dropped my flesh;
 my name is Sandra and I'm made up of wires
 They talk to me from a network,
 from time to time
 Yes, I'm connected to a network;
 hundred of men a day are having sex with me
 using some new technology apparatus
 It hurts
 I'm something like a circus freak
 I don't have a body, but some machine
 recreates one to every horny bastard
 with a credit card that wants to fuck me
 I dream of pulling the plugs
 but I've no hand to do it
 If you read this message
 please spread it
